Enigmas de la historia argentina
Diego Valenzuela toma los temas cruciales de la vida nacional del siglo XIX y los desmenuza siguiendo los descubrimientos más recientes de los historiadores. Cada capítulo parte de una pregunta, un enigma que busca ser respondido a lo largo del texto. Por ejemplo, «¿por qué no quedan negros? » es el disparador para comprender la historia de la esclavitud y el mestizaje en el país. «¿Qué discutían unitarios y federales?» permite adentrarse en la interna política más emblemática del siglo fundacional. Los procesos y personajes que marcaron nuestro pasado son analizados a partir del esfuerzo de los investigadores más respetados, sin estereotipos ni prejuicios ideológicos, con r...

Sarmiento periodista
Sarmiento fue periodista, quizás, antes que cualquier otra cosa. Con materiales y documentos inéditos, se reconstruye el peculiar e intenso itinerario de una faceta poco investigada de este personaje ineludible de la historia argentina. Durante su campaña con el Ejército Grande, se definió a sí mismo como «soldado con la pluma o con la espada, combato para poder escribir, que escribir es pensar». Alberdi le reprochó que «en sus manos, la pluma fue una espada y no una antorcha», y lo bautizó «el caudillo de la pluma». Cuando aún no existía un campo periodístico independiente y profesional, ejerció el oficio con pasión, desde su nacimiento a la vida pública hasta su muerte....
The Armor of God

MORTALITY RATE
There is no higher honor for students at the prestigious medical school than to be personally selected by Professor Arthur Sterling Law to participate in his weekly ethics seminar. Only the best and the brightest are considered. Only the best of these are chosen. Each patient presented at the seminar poses an ethical dilemma, and the fiercest debates center on the question of prolonging life, particularly the cost of prolonging the life of a desperately ill patient. Can the cost be justified, or should expensive, potentially lifesaving medical care simply be withdrawn? And there is one group of especially brilliant, especially privileged, especially arrogant students who invariably argue for pulling the plug. If it were within their power, a very real patient would die. But surely medical students do not possess such power…. As the number of suspicious deaths increases, others cling to innocent explanations, but senior medical student Mac McCall cannot ignore his own doubts. He risks his career—and ultimately his life—as he pursues a trail of sexual intrigue and death to solve the mystery of the ever-rising Mortality Rate.
